Where you come from, fandom is measured by mass presence, but here it's measured by whether a team is worth enduring traffic for. Bad owners like the Atlanta Spirit Group or Daniel Snyder would rather have a house full of angry, paying customers than a half-empty one.
But if ownership isn't sweating wins and losses, then we aren't either. So even though I don't get hockey, I get why the Thrashers never caught on here. It's not because hockey comes from Canada and not from the south.
Nothing comes from here anyway. Mind asplode, but we are talking about the people who let the year-old Ilya Kovalchuk go so they could lock up Joe Johnson through his mids, thus the mind sort of takes a back seat anyway. This isn't how it's presented, but it's what's happening.
Similarly, the Thrashers move isn't really about NHL attendance rankings. Soon as you guys figure it out, let us know. If Atlanta can become the home of an Ivy League sport's national championship play-in game, surely it could've sorta fallen in love more often than not with a committed NHL franchise.

Verstappen would run No. Simply put, the Panthers struggles can be blamed on location and ownership. The Panthers were placed in Sunshine, Florida in hopes of spreading the appeal of the game we all love.
In response to dwindling attendance numbers, the Panthers marketing team has resorted to odd give aways like logo embroidered yarmulkes for Hanukkah, or a Panthers inspired Mr. Potato Head.
